Looking for some recommendations on materials to use to represent brake hoses for suspension detailing. Specifically for cars in the 1960's.

Thanks Andi, I see if I can find some wire and try it. Any problem with the paint coming off when bending?

Hello Bob
Apologies for coming to this late. I use fishing line painted black with acrylic paint. It bends nicely and the paint doesn't come off and dab of supper glue will fix it in place. And its lighter than wire.
Best Wishes
David

Thanks David, I don't know why I didn't think of that. I have plenty fly fishing leader material to pick from.

This post and the one above may need redirecting?
I have a home use Professor Motor electronic controller that I like better than the provided scalextric Ninco or Policar hand controls, inexpensive and well made.
Regards
Nigel
